My entire family had a blast zip lining through the tree canopies! Chris and Cassie were our guides and they were hospitable, informative and patient. It was our first time zip lining in such an environment-hundreds of feet in the air and we felt completely comfortable and confident in their hands. They provided us with water and snacks midway and at the conclusion of our adventure, including freshly picked bananas! They shared knowledge about the vegetation and geographical landmarks, as well as, insight into local eateries! Not only did we enjoy the various zip lines, but there were also suspension bridges and a final rappel to the ground. You also get to ride in a really cool armory jeep of some sort as you travel to and from the excursion. It surpassed our expectations and we were so glad to have chosen that adventure during our travels on The Big Island.

The voucher we printed was a little confusing. It had the correct zip code and address, but the wrong location in one area, and the correct location in another. Leave early so you can find the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Hulakai Beach Hut. It is NOT at the Waikoloa Resort. We got there right on time and met Chris at the hut. He was very nice and friendly, low key and patient. I guess he's done this a lot with us novices! The cove was flat and glassy, and easy to get back on the board if you fall. After some practice in the cove, he lead us out past the breakers into a little more challenging water, but still not horribly choppy. Turned around and headed back into the cove. I had an easier time, so it may be more difficult for some people than others. Relax as best you can, keep looking up and you should be well on your way!

Had a great time! Learned a lot about the environment and other tidbits along the way to and during the zip line. The safety lecture was very thorough. Brett and Rogan were very informative, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny throughout the day. We took a couple of our friend's young teenagers and we all had a great time. Would definitely do it again when we visit again. Thanks for an awesome day Brett and Rogan!

My wife and I took this cruise. Were picked up and given warm welcome, then staff were lovely and very easy to talk to whilst constantly serving you. Open bar was generously doled out - you were actually encouraged to use it! Food also enough that we didn't have to eat again that evening. Really lovely evening cruising along the bay, and a lovely romantic setting to boot.

All in all, this is a fairly inexpensive way to spend an evening in Hawaii and as long as your expectations aren't high you will be OK. I feel that the advertisement grossly exaggerates the experience though.
"Romantic"- nope, not really. Its you and 20 other people crammed onto a motorboat screaming kids and all for an hour ride. Wine is served in plastic Solo cups, nowhere to sit except the floor... did I mention the screaming kids?
"Sail"- nope, not at all. This was my biggest disappointment since we really wanted to go on a sail. Though technically it may classify as a sailboat (and the photos in the ads clearly show a sailboat), there is no mast, no sail. It's just a boat-ride.
"Champagne"-yep, in romantic plastic cups. But it was there.
"Sunset"- this part is true
The staff were quite friendly and helpful, can't comment on the food because I didn't try it but it looked like there was plenty. Didn't see any dolphins or mermaids like some of the other suspiciously positive reviews but can't fault the company for that, it's a matter of luck. They were a little disorganized but not to the point I think it will cause any problems.
It wasn't a bad time, I just felt the title was misleading. And again, for the price it's not a bad deal for Hawaii just don't expect to be floored. You'll be asked to post a positive review, best to just be honest.

We were so lucky on this trip, we had the best time! Dinner was really tasty, and there was plenty to eat and plenty to drink. But the highlight was all the whales we saw!! Like I say, we were really lucky....we had whales swimming alongside us, literally for the entire evening...it was surreal! It was a beautiful, calm night. The captain made sure to turn the boat every now and then so that we never lost sight of the sunset. The crew were all really nice, and super helpful. We drank champagne, and stood at the railing and watched the sun set. It was beautiful!!

クジラは、思っていたより近くに現れなかったけれど、数はたくさん見ることができました。天候に恵まれて、穏やかな海の上を風をきって進む感じがなんともいえなく爽快でした。海から見える山の景色も最高です。スタッフは日本語を話せず、参加者も8割は外国の方なので、状況を理解する程度の英語力は必要です。またピックアップの際、ロビーという連絡がありましたが実際にはホテルのエントランスを出てすぐの車寄せのところで乗り合わせていたので、注意が必要です。

So many things make this the best zip line on the big island including NINE zips, the last one a tandem AND over 1100 ft long but the absolute best part was the tour guides Kalei and Kalani. In fact, Kalani was our ATV tour guide 4 years ago when we were last there. They made this a very fun adventure and encouraged my hubby who was fearful of heights; even he loved it, after the first one! Truly amazing scenery and very fun, patient, and experienced guides. Safety was definitely a priority for them but made our adventure extra special. Thank you Kalei and Kalani!!!
